[QUOTE="DarkHelmet, post: 568706, member: 9399"] Studs: Cobb Starks Matthews Made some plays: Tramon Williams Clinton-Dix (though he got embarrassed on that TD) Nelson (though I put 50% on the INT on him) Linsley (not bad for a rookie) A Rodgers (looked good on a couple of series and really bad on a couple) Duds: Sherrod (last night's king of the lookout block) B Jones (pretty much horrible in every respect) Capers (this should be his last season) McCarthy (his offensive game plan was dull and uninspired compared to what Bevell did for the Seahawks.) T Thompson (for not managing to find effective inside linebackers) Masthay (the shanked first punt was unacceptable) Overall grades: Offense: C (bearing in mind that Seattle's D is excellent) QB: C+ (INT 50% on him, too slow to read situations, poor decision on fourth down, didn't protect the ball on safety) RB: B (a C for Lacy and an A for Starks, though to be fair to Lacy the O-line gave him nothing.) WR: B- (Cobb looked good, Jordy did okay apart from the INT, Boykin was invisible.) TE: C+ (Quarless made a couple of grabs) O-Line: C- (didn't get the job done on the run, gave up safety, costly penalties) Defense: C- D-Line: C- (nobody made any notable plays that I saw.) OLB: B (Matthews played pretty well, Peppers seemed to have little impact) ILB: D (B Jones should not be starting, but we have no one better, apparently. Hawk is a good tackler but he is not fast enough to cover TEs nor quick enough to react to cutbacks. I think his football instincts are good, he plays with heart and doesn't make mental mistakes often, but he just isn't fast enough for the position in the league today.) DB: C+ (they didn't get embarrassed as much as in some games last year. Shields and Williams made a couple plays. Clinton-Dix looks like he can play at this level, though he's still raw.) Special teams: D coverage: C (got a turnover mostly through dumb luck) kicking: C- (Masthay's first punt was awful, Crosby did what was asked of him) return: D- (our guys really misjudge the "can I make it past the 20 yardline?" question. O game plan: C- Uninspired. Stuck with the run game too long after we were in a hole. Yes, we'd like to run the ball, but our O-Line wasn't getting it done against that defense. Took to long to get the quick slant to Nelson/inside pass to Cobb working. D game plan: D. But how much of it is actually failure to execute? Hard to say. If we had some inside linebackers who were quicker would the whole thing look much better? Bottom line: Seattle is a very good team. It was not a fluke that they thrashed Denver in the Superbowl. Russell Wilson is a very smart QB. The team is well coached (grrr -- hate Pete Carroll). They play fast, they hit hard, they play smart.
